Premium Framed Print : False-colour SEM of retina featuring central fovea
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
False-colour SEM of retina featuring central fovea
Foveal retina. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of the human retina featuring the central fovea, a crater-like depression in the photosensitive layer of the eye. The foveal retina is the area of greatest visual acuity and contains only cone receptor cells. When an eye looks at an object, that part focused on the fovea is the portion most accurately registered by the brain. This area is particularly rich in blood vessels, which appear root-like, running in, over & outside of the foveal " ridge". Magnification: x24 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour scanning electron micrograph of the human retina, specifically highlighting the central fovea. The foveal retina is an intriguing crater-like depression found in the photosensitive layer of our eyes. It is within this area that we experience our greatest visual acuity, as it exclusively contains cone receptor cells. When we focus our gaze on an object, the part captured by the fovea is meticulously registered by our brain. This region plays a crucial role in providing us with sharp and detailed vision. As we delve into this microscopic image, one cannot help but notice the abundance of root-like blood vessels that intricately weave their way through, over, and outside of the foveal ridge. With a magnification level of x24 at 6x7cm size, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the intricate world of sight and vision. It reminds us how remarkable and complex our visual sense truly is. Furthermore, it highlights key anatomical features such as the macula and fovea which are essential for optimal visual acuity. Through scientific exploration and advancements in imaging technology like SEM (scanning electron microscopy), we gain invaluable insights into subjects like anatomy and physiology. This particular image from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to both its educational value and aesthetic appeal - showcasing nature's wonders hidden within ourselves without any commercial intent behind it.
